USDo not recommend My mother-in-law needed to move and I wanted to help her in any way that I could. I told her that I would take care of the moving details. I did my due diligence and researched reviews of countless companies. I picked the top 3 that looked best and got quotes. One Source Van Lines wasn't the cheapest and it wasn't the most expensive. I provided them with the list of furniture and since she was selling the house, they pulled the pictures of the furniture off of Zillow so that we could get the closest estimate possible. The thing that made me choose this company over the others was Joann and what she told me. She said the reason that we aren't the lowest is because most companies will give you a cheap quote and then they will increase the price on the day of the move. We won't do that to you.... My response was of surprise! I did not know that moving companies did such a thing. I appreciated her honesty and her commitment to not price-gouging my mother. I can appreciate an honest company that tells me everything upfront. The quote was for $5590. This would be to move all of her furniture from Cheney Washington to Boise Idaho (6.5 hour drive). In full transparency, she did have a baby grand piano and heavier items like a china hutch. We ensured that we listed all of this for the initial quote. We decided also to have her car shipped so that she wouldn't have to do the drive alone. This quote was $695 for the car which is a separate moving process. One Source called her 3 days before picking it up they adjusted the price to $11,000 (Full disclosure we did add on more boxes so we expected an increase, not $6k worth for approx 20 more boxes). To our surprise, One Source Van Lines outsources to another moving company. This company shows up at 3 pm on the day of the move with two guys. They walk around the house and then tell us the bad news. The price has now gone up from $5590 to $11,000 and now to $14,386. That nearly tripled the initial quote. We were told that the initial quote was not correct and that they also forgot to charge for packing materials. How could someone make that huge of an error in the initial quote? So now, since they waited till the day of the move, she has no other option than to pay them the money. She called One Source to report this and the person on the other line had the audacity to call my mother condescending. The customer service was not professional. After the call, they send me an email offering to credit her either $300 now or $450 in three payments. The caveat to this is that she will have a contractural gag order that says she cannot say anything bad about One Source. My belief is this is how they get people to stay quiet and not write bad reviews. There is no way that we are the only ones who experienced this price-gouging nightmare. My mother opted to not take the money so that I could write this review and warn others of this company. Also, I wanted to note that they also outsourced the move of the car as well. They did not come and pick up when they said that they would. We had to give a window and we said 1/28-1/30. They finally ended up coming two weeks later on 2/15 and tried to charge her an extra $80 at the time of delivery. In conclusion, their initial quote was egregiously underbid by $9k, the companies that they chose to stand behind were not what was promised, and their customer service lacked empathy. How this company has such a high rating is absolutely mindblowing to me.

USThey will cheat you once you sign I moved with One Source in December of 2023. Intially the person who helped me was very nice, and walked me through everything - which gave me confidence to go with this company. When one of their team called me a week before the move to verify what I was shipping, they told me I would be charged 90% of the total move price to add on only about 20% more items to the total. So if my total move was $4000 and I had to add some items on at the end increasing my total truck used space by 20%, they wanted to charge me an additional $3600 to do so, - even though I was told my square foot cost would stay the same as when I put my deposit down. After I questioned this - they told me "well if you don't want to pay it you can just it behind." Which is thinly veiled threat. Additionally I was charged $700 dollars to shuttle my stuff because the roads to my place could not take a tractor trailer - even though the contract said it would be no more than $500. These people are scum, cheats, and they pray on people once they sign the line. They will talk nice to get you to commit. From there - criminals.

USPrice changes 2 days before move 1.5 months before the move they did a visual inspection and gave me a quote. 2 days before the move, after I had boxed up my house, they changed the price from $6k to $10k, and asked for another $2k deposit. The day of the move I came to my senses and cancelled after they arrived. All I want is the second $2k payment back but they won't return any calls.
